Starfighters Space, Inc. (NYSE: FJET) has announced its support for the Space Ready 2.0 Act, a legislative proposal designed to modernize shared infrastructure at NASA centers through voluntary private investment. Introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives as H.R. 9651 by Congressman Mike Haridopolos and in the U.S. Senate as S. 4905 by Senator Ashley Moody, the act seeks to address growing infrastructure demands from both government and commercial space operations. For Starfighters Space, which operates the world’s only commercial fleet of flight-ready Mach 2+ supersonic aircraft, the legislation represents a critical step toward ensuring reliable spaceport facilities on the Space Coast.

The proposed legislation would authorize NASA to establish a pilot program allowing the agency to collaborate with public and private entities to improve shared infrastructure at NASA centers, including Kennedy Space Center. This framework enables voluntary contributions toward eligible infrastructure projects without establishing a new federal spending program. By facilitating private-sector participation, the act aims to maintain modern and resilient roads, utilities, pipelines, and facilities essential for mission readiness.

Legislative Details

Kennedy Space Center has evolved into a multi-user spaceport supporting NASA missions, commercial launch providers, research organizations, and other government users. As activity on the spaceport continues to increase, the importance of modern infrastructure to operational reliability grows. Starfighters Space relies on this shared infrastructure to support its high-speed flight operations, space research, payload testing, and future air-launch development activities at Kennedy Space Center.

Strategic Importance

Tim Franta, CEO of Starfighters Space, emphasized that infrastructure built for an earlier era of spaceflight is now supporting a growing mix of operations. "The Space Ready 2.0 Act would provide a practical framework for NASA and its commercial partners to work together to modernize the shared infrastructure on which their missions depend, without creating a new federal spending program," Franta said. He added that maintaining modern and reliable spaceport infrastructure is essential to supporting continued growth on the Space Coast and preserving American leadership in space.

Starfighters Space joins other commercial space companies and Space Coast stakeholders in supporting the legislation. The company’s F-104 aircraft fleet, based at NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida and the Midland Air and Space Port in Texas, is configurable for air-launched payloads, pilot training, and RDT&E (research, development, test, and evaluation) for hypersonic technologies and defense systems. The successful passage of the Space Ready 2.0 Act could directly impact the operational scalability and mission readiness of these advanced aerospace applications.

Starfighters Space filed a registration statement with the SEC to facilitate the resale of up to 5.2M common shares by selling stockholders. The filing allows existing shareholders to sell their holdings in the public market. The shares being registered were previously issued by the company and are not part of a new offering by Starfighters Space itself.

The registration does not indicate any new capital raising activities by the company. Instead, it provides a mechanism for selling stockholders to liquidate their positions. The specific identity of the selling stockholders was not detailed in the filing summary.

Filing Details

The SEC submission outlines the maximum number of shares subject to the resale registration. The table below summarizes the key data points from the filing.

This move follows standard regulatory procedures for companies with shareholders seeking to sell restricted or control shares. The registration becomes effective upon SEC clearance, at which point the shares can be sold in accordance with market conditions.
